About this file
This document contains a presolicitation notice and references related to thallium bromide detector development. The presolicitation is from the Department of Homeland Security to develop technologies that can counter weapons of mass destruction. It seeks over-the-horizon and near-term chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear solutions. This includes new applications of technologies to respond to emerging threats.
The references provide historical information on thallium bromide detectors. It outlines work on thallium bromide crystal growth, detector fabrication methods, detector performance studies, and applications for gamma spectroscopy, medical imaging, and homeland security. Early research from the 1940s-1980s is also cited. The references appear to provide relevant background for technologies responsive to the presolicitation notice regarding chemical and nuclear threat detection.
